How to prevent gnome-settings-daemon from touching keyboard configuration at all?

[Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul gmail com>]

Hi,

As you may know Gnome 3.6 got redesigned keyboard layout
management/configuration.
I'm not going to blame its developers, but actually it's not usable at
all for those who speak at least
two languages and uses two layouts. Maybe english-only-speaking devs
did not notice that, but
it's major regression - one can't switch layout via key/key combo he used to.

But there's another issue - I can't configure it via xorg.conf or
startup script with setxkbmap - because
gnome-settings-daemon overrides keyboard layout settings. Is there a
way to prevent gnome-settings-daemon
from managing keyboard configuration at all?

Regards
Vasily

P.S. It's ridiculous to remove _working_ feature before implementing
replacement, it's not professional at all.
